A new benzodiazepine pharmacology

H Möhler, JM Fritschy, U Rudolph - Journal of Pharmacology and …, 2002 - ASPET
Classical benzodiazepine drugs are in wide clinical use as anxiolytics, hypnotics, anticonvulsants,
and muscle relaxants. They act by enhancing the γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABA A ) …

Gephyrin: a master regulator of neuronal function?

SK Tyagarajan, JM Fritschy - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2014 - nature.com
The neurotransmitters GABA and glycine mediate fast synaptic inhibition by activating ligand-gated
chloride channels — namely, type A GABA (GABA A ) and glycine receptors. Both …

Formation and plasticity of GABAergic synapses: physiological mechanisms and pathophysiological implications

JM Fritschy, I Brünig - Pharmacology & therapeutics, 2003 - Elsevier
γ-Aminobutyric acid A (GABA A ) receptors mediate most of the fast inhibitory neurotransmission
in the CNS. They represent a major site of action for clinically relevant drugs, such as …

GABAA‐receptor heterogeneity in the adult rat brain: Differential regional and cellular distribution of seven major subunits

JM Fritschy, H Mohler - Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
GABA A ‐receptors display an extensive structural heterogeneity based on the differential
assembly of a family of at least 15 subunits (α1–6, β1–3, γ1–3, θ, ρl–2) into distinct …

erratum: Benzodiazepine actions mediated by specific γ-aminobutyric acidA receptor subtypes

…, F Crestani, D Benke, I Brünig, JA Benson, JM Fritschy… - Nature, 2000 - nature.com
In this Letter, the X-ray Laue patterns used to give the orientation of our crystal were
misinterpreted by 458. With the magnetic field perpendicular to the RuO2 planes, the nearest-…

Molecular and neuronal substrate for the selective attenuation of anxiety

…, R Keist, D Benke, I Brünig, JA Benson, JM Fritschy… - Science, 2000 - science.org
Benzodiazepine tranquilizers are used in the treatment of anxiety disorders. To identify the
molecular and neuronal target mediating the anxiolytic action of benzodiazepines, we …

Postsynaptic clustering of major GABAA receptor subtypes requires the γ2 subunit and gephyrin

C Essrich, M Lorez, JA Benson, JM Fritschy… - Nature …, 1998 - nature.com
Most fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain is mediated by GABA A receptors, which
are mainly postsynaptic and consist of diverse α and ß subunits together with the γ2 subunit. …

Trace fear conditioning involves hippocampal α5 GABAA receptors

F Crestani, R Keist, JM Fritschy… - Proceedings of the …, 2002 - National Acad Sciences
The heterogeneity of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A ) receptors contributes to the diversity
of neuronal inhibition in the regulation of information processing. Although most GABA A …

Decreased GABAA-receptor clustering results in enhanced anxiety and a bias for threat cues

…, D Benke, JP Laurent, C Belzung, JM Fritschy… - Nature …, 1999 - nature.com
Patients with panic disorders show a deficit of GABA A receptors in the hippocampus,
parahippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex. Synaptic clustering of GABA A receptors in mice …

Switch in the expression of rat GABAA-receptor subtypes during postnatal development: an immunohistochemical study

JM Fritschy, J Paysan, A Enna… - Journal of …, 1994 - Soc Neuroscience
The involvement of GABA in neuronal differentiation and maturation precedes its role as
inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It was therefore investigated whether GABAA receptors …
